1 Samuel 1 - 2
1 SamuelSteve Gregg
In 1 Samuel 1-2, it is suggested that God allowed polygamy due to the practical needs of society at the time, where women found purpose in having children to raise. The story follows Hannah, who was barren and prayed to God for a child, and was granted a son. She dedicated her son to the Lord, and in doing so, inspired the idea of monarchy and the anointing of a king. However, the story also highlights the corruption and disobedience of the priesthood, ultimately resulting in the judgment of the house of Eli.
